There has been significant recent interest in the commercial utilisation of algae based on
their valuable chemical constituents many of which exhibit multiple bioactivities with …

Large‐scale seaweed cultivation has been instrumental in globalizing the seaweed industry
since the 1950s. The domestication of seaweed cultivars (begun in the 1940s) ended the …

Fucoidans, sulfated polysaccharides in brown algae, were depolymerized though high-
pressure hydrolysis, and their antibacterial activity, structural properties, and antibacterial …

In the current review, compositional data on fucoidans extracted from more than hundred
different species were surveyed through the available literature. The analysis of crude …

Laminaria japonica is a familiar marine plant and is often used as food due to its abundant
carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. As one of the main types of active substances in L …

The crude polysaccharides of Laminaria japonica (LP) were extracted with the optimal
conditions as follows: raw materials to water 1: 50 (w/v), extraction temperature 60° C and …

Crude fucoidan was extracted from the brown alga Undaria pinnatifida collected monthly
from April to last July in Peter the Great Bay (Japan Sea, Russia). The amount of crude …

The methods of isolation of fucoidans and determination of their chemical structures are
reviewed. The fucoidans represent sulfated polysaccharides of brown algae, the …

Fucose sulphated polysaccharides (FSPs) and glucans have recently attracted the attention
of the scientific community due to their wide range of biological activities. Both …

Water-soluble polysaccharide was extracted from Laminaria japonica, and its antitumor
effect on mice bearing H22 liver cancer was investigated. The mice were inoculated with …
